OBJEcfivES AND ACTIVITIES
BAekground
Soho is a remarkable quarter of a square mile with a remarkable history. From around the end of the seventeenth cenlury it
was already an established residential districi and has housed such luminaries as Karl Marx, Casanov4 Canaletto,
William Blake, Isaac Newton, Dr Johnson and the great composers Haydn and Mozart.
The Soho Society was fomied in 1972 to make Soho a better place to live, work and visit. Within a few monihs il had
gained formal consultative slalus with Westminster City Coun¢il on all planning, licensirbg. traffi¢ and environmental
mallers. Very soon, the Society persuaded Westminster City Council lo make Soho a Conservaiion Area
with the
intention of tying lo prevent the demolition and the Consequent loss of Ihe existin8 ￿sIdential and business communities.
Purposes and Alms
The charity's purposes a5 sel out in the objectives rontained in the company's memorandum and articles of associaiion are..

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Aehievements And performance during the year 2024
We continue to run monihly planning, licensing and trustees meetings in the Clock Tower and online. We ran the Village
Fete on Sunday 21 July 2024 had our Annual General Meeting on 16 April 2024.
On 6 May 2022 the new Lal)our administration took Control of Westminster City Council. The Society's engagement with
the council 15 key lo ils work and the change in administralion has made a 5ignifi¢ani difference irt a number of ways.
Living is the Centre of 3 global cenlre is a privilege and has a number of advantages. However, Soho, and Westminster
more generally, serve5 a much wider audience than simply the people that live there. Wesiminsler has about 250,000
residents bul maybe four time5 as many visitors and workers who Come to Westminster every day. Soho has approximaiely
3,000 residents with maybe a l 00,000 workers and visitors every day.
Further, economic activity in Westminsier h&s both a London wide and national significance. Some aspecis of this
economic aclivity, such as inlensificalion of F&B bu5incsses. iniensificalion of activity ai night and 'financialisalion"
the property market can have adverse imp3Cts on current residents and the communities that have existed for centuries in
the cenlre of London. Sometimes those interests confli¢1 and it is the role of the council to strike a reasonable balance
between the various inierest groups.
The Soho Society, and a number of other omenity societies in Weslmin51er, had been concerned that the previous
administration had gol that balance wrong - specifically pulling the inlere51s of commercial property investment above
over ihe interesis of residents in a way that was not sustainable. While we had begun to See a better balance being struck
by the new administration as promised in its manifesto. we rtow face new threats in the form of ihe London Mayor who is
keen 10 take control of a strip of ¢enlr81 London without much discussion with the people that live Ihere. Fortunalely, Ihe
Labour council continues to oppose th¢ plans for Mayoral Development Corporation for Oxford Street and for the removal
of buses and tuis from Oxford Sireet plans which had been rejected by boih thc community and the Conservative
Council in 2018 and ihe Labour council from 2022.
A number of ar￿$ of concern with the council itself remain and WOLbld include:
The management of renthl e-bikes and Ihe impact on Ihe safety and acttssibility of the public realm has been an issue
though things have improved following engagement wilh the council and the operators.
The Supposedly temporary scheme on Regent Sireei to remove 2 lanes of traffic lo increase room for pedestrians for
COVID disiancing. This tempordry measure had been made pemianeni without any credible explanation and the council
ha5 ignored re5idenlS' concerns about congestion and access for emergency vehicles. Variou5 engagemcni events conlinue
bul the Safety issues are ignored. This remains a frustration as does ihe council's inability lo properly distance itself from
the property interests that lobby it for special treatmeni.
The management of noise ￿mpLains continue5 to be unsatisfactory. The council ha5 since September 2024 been using 9
fixed noise moniiors in Soho lo measure a baseline of noise nuisance. The inilial results are already Shocking with very
high levels of noise me&%ured throughout (he night. the council now needs to move quickly 10 surv¢y residenls, publish the
results and come up with a meaningful plan for mitigation. Such mitigation need not pose a serious t￿eat to Soho's
night-time economy as many of the noise nuisance sources are only directly related lo ihe NTE, such as deliveries, waste
collections, gl&8s collections, pedicabs, car horns and car amplified music and racing. Only dispersal is diTectly a funeiion
of the NTE which just needs lo be properly rnanaged both lo reduce nuisance bui aiso crim¢.
The council has now published its nighi-lime economy strategy for consultation, and some &spects are lo be welcomed a5 il
does suggest safety and security are key not just foT residents bul also for visitors. However. the first five years of the action
plan is thin on actual inlervenlions to deliver increas¢d safety and security. and we will wntinue to make suggestions on
safer dispersal and more ￿lIce resources and management io attempt io reduce the very high arnounl of crime that takes
place in the West End Ward.

0￿ECTIvEs A]WD ACTIVITIES
The continued lack of proper and perynanent public loild provision in Soho wilh facilit1¢5 in Broadwi¢k Sireel slill closed.
The new administration has promised lo re-open the Great Marlborough Streei toilets and h&8 provided a lemporary
solution at weekends. The council's night-time economy consultstion suggests that visitors too think that toilet provision
and amenities need to be improved.
We have urged the courtcil lo get on with revising ils licensing policy to reflect the cumulative impact assessmenl (CIA) it
ompleted in December 2023
we remain concemed about the extensive delay given the seriousness of the crime and
nuisance issues the council iiself identified.
We have welcomed ihe council's more recent inilialivcs to in¢rew ccrv coveiage throughoui Weslminster but also
where m051 of the crime is located.. in the West End. The council has proposed an addiiional 200 cameras for the
Borough. Early results suggesl Ihat il is effective.
Our relationship with businesses and property companies which was lesled during the various pandemic inlervenlions, has
partly improved, especially with Shaftesbury Capco following the completion of the merger. Shaftesbury Capco executive5
recently attended the Society's trustees, meeting and we have a monihly meeting with their community team. The
relationship with Soho's other major landowner, Soho Estates land the Soho Business Alliance) remains a difficult one.
The SBA provided misleading informalion to journali515 about the Soho Society on the objection rate of the Society's
planrbing group (ils typically 200/0 noi 990/0). While Ihe publication Metro has printed a retraction. no apology has been
offered by Ihe SBA. Soho Estates conlinucs to lobby hard for the pedestriani5ation of Greek and Old ComOOn Street but
is not meaningfully engaging with concerns over crime and nuisance that such interventions may make worse.

OWECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Planning
In 2024 the Planning Group ¢onlinued lo meel monthly. usually in a hybrid forn wilh some members in the Tower Room,
or in Si Anne's church meeiing rooms. wilh oih¢rs joining on Zoom.
We considered 309 application5 in the year 2024, a small drop from 2023. We had objeclion5 to 59 (IW/o) of these
applications and made suggestionslcomments for a number of others. This is fewer than in 2023 when the objection rate
wa5 23.5/0.
Our main conums cenlred on applications which were likely lo adversely affecl residcnfiial amenity, the heritage of Ihe
Soho Conservation Area and accessibility on Soho streets. The major applicalions of concern were 17-19 Soho Square, 7
Leieesier Place, and 14-1 S Manette Street.
We continued to give advice and support to residents on specific applications where possible, and we also engaged with a
number of applicant5 who approached us for our views prior to submitling applications.
We increased engagemeni with Ihe ¢oun¢il c&8e officers on planning and planning enforcement, including making joint
site visits and inelusion in meetings with developers, which has proved very helpfLbl.
Licensing
The Liccn5ing Committee examines all applications for premises licences in Soho, including premises that have noi
previously held a licence, and exlensions of existing lic¢n¢es 10 laler into Ihe night.
Every new alcohol licen¢e gr#nied by Westhiinster Council. or grantin8 of extended hours, adds to the number of people
drinking alcohol and brings more - often inebriated people on to the already crowded Slr¢et5 of Soho, The cumulalivc
impact of this Can be more crime, someiimes violent, noise disturbance. and general unpleasantness on our streets.
11 is Worth noting that we do noi objeci to slraighiforward renewals of licences, such as sex entertainment licences for
established venues where there is rto hisiory of issues.
If local residents or busincsscs, the Soho Society, the Police, or Ihc Environmental Health OITicer. belicvc Ihere are
potential adverse effects 10 the granting of an applicaiion and submii their ¢on¢erns, the applicalion goes to a panel of
three Councillors (two from the majority and one from Ihe minority paty) to make a decision on whether or nol lo grant
Ihe applicant's request.
We are guided by WestminsteT City Council's Licensing Policy and the Soho Society's own Licensing Mandate, we
continue to be guided by the objective of making Soho a better place to live, work and visit. All application5 for alcohol
sales and lale-night premises are examined and we make representations to any that apply for licensing hours outside
Weslminslerfs Licensing Core Hours Policy and those that we believe may have a negative impact on Soho. We coniinue lo
support residents in providing advice and attend licensing hearings, their representalions are particularly important in
highlighting to the Licensing Sub-committee the impact on their lives of living in an aTea with such a high number of
licensed premises.
In 2024, the Licensing Committee has reviewed a total of 115 applications. This is slightly down from the previous years.
rec4)rd totsl of120.
Of the 115 applications we looked at, the licensing commirtee submitted representations to Westminster Council regarding
46 of the application5. this is compared to 53 in 2023. No representations were made with regard to the 69 remaining
applications. 7 applications were subsequently withdrawn by ihe applicant and The Soho Society withdrew its
representalions in 10 of ihe applications.

OWECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
We attended the majority of Ihe Westminster Council Licensing Sub-commillee hearings, 25 applications were granted by
the licensing sub-committee. 3 were refused (including a lam extension of a restaurani licence, and an eniertainmenl
venue's application for an increase in capacity of 620 to 920) and 2 applications remain outstanding.
I l New alcohol licences were granted tolaling capacity of more than 374 persons. These consisted of 4 new restaurants. 2
supermarkets. l event space. I hairdressers. I cafe. I cake shop, and I gin distillery. An existing licence for a new
entertainment venue on Brewer Street was granted an increase in capacity ftom 360 10 550 unlil 12am.
6 li¢ences were reviewed by Westminster Council; 2 of these were due lo sexual assaults taking place on the premises, and
4 licences were reviewed due lo breach of licen¢¢ conditions whi¢h resulted in 2 licences being revoked.
We once again ihank Ri¢hard Brown of Westminster CAB for his irtV81uable advice and support to the Society and
residenis.
Other Actlvltles
In addiiion to these continuous aclivilies, Ihe Society undertook the following other activities in 2024, summarised below.
Community cohesion
Clarion.. Our quarterly magazine, prinls approximately 2,500 copies. with copies posted io members and the remainder
distributed ihrough Soho by volunteers to local businesses.
Ncwslerter.. Wc publish an e-newsletter (approximately monthly) and make growing use of social media.
Soho Radio.. We have continued the weekly Soho Society Hour on Soho Radio. with programmcs Ihroughout ihe year from
guests, including musicians, playwrights, lawyers, art galleries, etc. All episodes are available after broadcast on our
website and on Mixcloud. Our broadcast slot has recently chan8ed to 7 am on Fridays du¢ lo ¢han8es at Soho Radio.
Social Events.. The Feie returned 10 ils nornial slot in July and was again a great success. We thank all the volunteers who
devote their lime to planning the eveni and supervising il on the day.
Landmarks
We have been involved in a number of specific campaigns on specific proposals for important landmhrks and buildings in
Soho..
Twentieth Century House.. We are still fighiing the plans lo dernolish this 1930,5 building with links io the UK film
industry in Soho Square. Royal London have wiihdrawn their application for demolilion with a reiained fa￿de. li is
currently unclear what the freeholder plan5 lo do with Ihe building which remains empty. Royal Londort recently applied
for a certificate of immunity from listing for the building which w¢ opposed

wa51e, and deliveries ihat this will involve. An application w&8 made for a new alcohol license for 9 Berwick Street
converting a shop into a restauranl (or more accuralely, 3 bar). The licence was inilially refused as a young family were
living above wilh a 6 month old child. The family have since been moved oui 8nd ihe licence w&$ then granted on the
second application. As more families leave Soho to allow increases in F&B esiablishmenls our community will be reduced
and the nurnbers at the Parish School will frdll further. We question whether this is the way forward. We now have
restaurants including a take away pizza offering which has lead to incrwcd littering And noise as we predicted.

OWECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
2-4 Dean Street (th¢ Tesco Site): Ai the end of 2022 we were approached by ihe freeholder of 2-4 Dean Sir¢¢t with a
proposal for the ￿deVelOpMent of the site of the Tesco store. We expressed concern with a number of aspects of ihe
scheme including the loss of Soho's main supemiarket. the loss of the 1929 Art Deco building at 7 Soho Square, Ihe
massing of ihe replocemeni buildings, the creation of a new entrance inlo Soho Square and the environmental imp8¢t of
demolition. The scherne was rejected by the council's planning cornrnittee in October 2023 and a new application h&s now
been made and we are discussing it with the applicant and the council. Some concerns remain over whether sufficient
reiail space exi515 to allow the supcrynarkei to retum and with the loss of the 7 Soho Square building. Pemiission has now
been granied bul a supemiarket musi be retained on the ground floor. The attractive unlisted art deco building in Soho
